Energy consumption stands as the second-largest expenditure for sports and leisure centres, following closely behind staff costs. Lighting, swimming pools, catering and other attractions all require an enormous amount of daytime electricity and are therefore a perfect match for renewable technologies such as solar energy.
Leisure centres contend with elevated energy costs attributable to various operational characteristics. Their extended operating hours, accommodating diverse facilities such as gyms, swimming pools, and spa areas, contribute to heightened energy demands. The specialised equipment used in these spaces, along with the need for consistent lighting, heating, and cooling, further amplifies energy consumption.
Leisure centres stand to gain significant financial and environmental advantages by embracing solar technology. Apart from aligning with environmental responsibility, the adoption of solar panels enables businesses to cut energy bills directly, leading to significant savings.
A typical solar photovoltaic (PV) system boasts a remarkable lifespan, providing free electricity for over 25 years. The financial returns are equally compelling, with potential annual returns reaching up to 20%, and the ability to recoup installation costs within just 5 years.
The whole process was incredibly smooth - from registration and quotation to installation and follow-up. Their pricing is very competitive, and they take care of everything, including DNO submission, MCS certification, and paperwork for SEG. Installation was carried out with care and professionalism. The workmanship is excellent, and the long warranties give real peace of mind. If you're considering solar, I’d highly recommend UPS Solar for a hassle-free experience.Ez Chowdhury What a fantastic service and company, can't rate UPS Solar highly enough. We were contacted by our local council regarding a group solar power installation procurement, the council would do the hard yards finding the best company and, if we wanted to proceed, would put us in contact with them. Almost 1 month to the day we were told UPS Solar were the company we now have a shiny solar panels and battery installed. The communication has been top drawer from the survey to the proposal and the install, UPS Solar took the time to go through any questions or concerns. The scaffolding was erected and the install team arrived a few days later. They started around 0800 and by lunchtime everything was sorted, power flowing and rubbish taken away. UPS Solar then sent through instructions for connecting up to the app to see how everything is working and then a few days later all the certs were emailed across. The day after install the scaffold company arrived and removed the scaffolding. Super efficient. As you are probably aware by now, I can't rate UPS Solar highly enough, great company and seriously know what they are doing. You won't go far wrong.Andrea Marshall Good overall experience. System was installed professionally and cleanly. The only slight niggle was a lack of notice for the scaffolders turning up which didn't help with planning, but that's a minor gripe.David Yates UPS fitted a replacement Solar inverter for me. Great response to get a good and competitive replacement and a speedy install. They even set up my phone to monitor the system.
